Close to the Edge, Yes's follow-up to the 1971 smash album Fragile, has been called the greatest progressive rock album of all time, and with good reason.

Close To the Edge is the fifth studio album by Yes. This 1972 recording set a
trend for Yes of structuring an album around a single epic song. Here the
centerpiece is the song "Close to the Edge". The album reached No. 4 on the UK
Albums Chart and No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard 200 during a chart stay of 32
weeks.

Close To the Edge is pure progressive rock - thoughtful and intelligent
compositions executed by the classic lineup of Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, Steve
Howe, Bill Bruford and Jon Anderson. All of the musicians in Yes are true
virtuosos. The individual and group ensemble work on Close To the Edge is
breathtakingly complex and the arrangements are incredible, everything
flawlessly flows from one piece to the next.

There's a spiritual influence introduced by Jon Anderson, in the music and
lyrics of all three tracks on Close To the Edge. Renewal and repetition are
other main themes. The album works incredibly well as a complete work that fuses
music, lyrics and Roger Dean's album covert art together in one seamless
totality.
